Stayed in site 103. The higher numbers are in a newer section. The sites are level, but are challenging to get into. If you want to be able to see/access the lake, stay in the lower numbers. Bring everything you need need with you, because it's an hour round trip to Carthage for supplies.

Still would like to see a hiking trail added. The amount of cars going round and round and round was less, a big improvement. But one note: a fellow at one site (glad it wasn't near us) had six dogs on his site (3 small and 3 large). We were walking near by and stopped to talk to the fellow in the adjoining site and he mentioned that he was disappointed to be camping next to a "kennel"! Surely some kind of limit should be put on the number of dogs one site can have.

Really quiet camp ground. Had an electrical issue with a bad breaker and the folks at guard shack let us have an adapter to get us through until the electrician could come and fix it.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
